Rachel’s Quest (1996)

This remake of the Disney Channel Original Movie of the same name brings a strong representative cast.

Remakes. Reboots. Reinventions. Redundancy. It's the common practice in Hollywood of late, sometimes offering us victorious reimagining of what can be considered cinematic classics while also, more often, falling flat on their UN-imaginative faces in utter defeat and lackluster results. Admittedly, with this in mind, I went into the newest incarnation of "The War of the Roses" with typical trepidation and cautious optimism.

America is the crux of the storyline: she is the only person in existence with the power to jump between universes. As central as America is to the Multiverse of Madness story, she somehow didn’t get that much to do.

Gretel & Hansel falters due to its razor thin story and lack of characterization. It loses sight of horror’s key rule: In order to create an effective tale, characters and emotions must be emphasized.

An Indonesian film that brings strong representation of Asian descent in this heart-warming tale of a woman and her dog.

Poor Black characters are usually surrounded by crime and violence, while poor White characters are portrayed as noble and hard-working.
